Reyes, who won in the 2013 congressional race in Marinduque, had been disqualified by the high court on the basis of her alleged US citizenship.

The high court, in its ruling, affirmed the decision of the Commission on Elections (Comelec) to disqualify her for her supposed failure to renounce her American citizenship as required of candidates with dual citizenship.

But Reyes found the SC's ruling questionable since one of its justices, Presbitero Velasco, is the father of her opponent Lord Allan Velasco.

She also said that the HRET, and not the SC, should be the one to decide on electoral contests.

However, the chairman of the HRET is Velasco. Two other justices sitting in the HRET are also "biased" against her, she said.

Those are the reasons why she wants Velasco, Justice Lucas Bersamin, who had decided against her and in favor of Comelec last year, and Justice Diosdado Peralta to be replaced in the HRET.

"Para po walang bias," Reyes said.

She said she had filed a petition before the SC seeking the replacement of the three justices. But on August 26, she heard news reports that her petition had already been denied.
